City schedules spring cleanup

The city of Lansing has a message for those aspiring to do some spring cleaning: Bring us your junk.

The city will stage its annual spring cleanup from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday, April 7 and 8, at the Leavenworth County Solid Waste Transfer Station/Recycling Center on Gilman Road.

Lansing residents will be able to drop off trash, yard waste, household hazardous waste, old appliances, construction and demolition waste and waste from burn barrels for free during the two-day event.

Those who are elderly or physically unable to make it to the transfer station for the cleanup can call City Hall, 727-3233, by Friday, March 31, to make an appointment for city staffers to pick up items for the cleanup.
